Soooo I did the stack this weekend......

I have been on the net all night looking at turbos ect. but for a gas engine i did however find this http://www.bankspower.com/Tech_bigdensity.cfm and read through it. Seams like all my life the old timers have said something to the effect of "look at that semi smoke must be running great". Seams thats not the case, i guess ya learn something everyday.

balzer thats exactly right. for sure. and true if you just dabble in the horsepower adder game.


for all out horsepower you give it as much fuel as you can afford, and hope you have enough air to cool it.......... thats where it gets expensive. I can still bury my 1500* pyro no problem when pulling 4th and 5th on the highway if I keep into it.

You're right it never sees the mud........I'll have to get this years clips from a friend at work if you want some '07 stuff.

c'mon paul. you know this is not true. here on ck5 if you do not have a one ton lifted and locked tubed blazer then you will forever face the scorn and ridicule of others.

for reference, i submit the ebay posts: http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=211511

and forget it, it you are into show and go or mud :rolleyes:
-------------------------------------------
that was the complete post, so you know that it was not directed at you. i get tired of all these guys here that sit on the computer and nitpick everyone else's creation. i feel they are very narrowminded when they cannot appreciate a well built bogger or show queen or whatever it is that someone has obviously put a bunch of work and pride into
 
demon, I like what youve done there. Forget what the retards in the thread have to say:rolleyes: . If i wanted a thread like this i woulda went back to kindergarten poop faces. but yeah, it looks good!
 
yeah, its pretty focked up that a guy just has to sit here and defend his sh!t when all he was trying to do is show off his freakin stack. Bunch of over opinionated bleepity bleeps on this site.

I can't make you understand though that to have back pressure after the turbo in a 5" diameter pipe the engine would have to be in excess of 45 liters displacement, like a Cummins QSK45 for example, that I routinely work on in a 2250 horspower oilfield configuration, those use a 12"-15" pipe. My engine is 5.9 liters.

One of our tugboats has 16 Cylinder, 60 liter, QSK60's and they use around 15" piping on there. Three of our tugboats have inline 6 cylinder KTA19-M3's which are 19 Liter engines rated at 620 HP @1800 rpm. Every one of our KTA19's use 6" exhaust (atleast 20' of it) so I'm sure its adequate for your application and will have minimal backpressure.

I also always kind of chuckle when I see a Cummins Dodge on the road with huge dual stacks since it's an inline engine and should really only need a single stack. Now on a Chevy or Ford I can see duals since those are V8s but not on the Dodge so I think you did it right. I'm honestly not a huge fan of the stack look but I think you've pulled it off nicely on your truck and you've got the power to back it up. :laugh:

so you think all of these new Duramaxes and Powerstrokes have true dual exhaust kits?

No I didn't say that, I think single exhaust works well in all applications (whether the engine is in an inline or V configuration) but it doesnt make sense to me to split exhaust that is already produced from one bank as it is. Now with a "V" engine you have 2 exhaust banks which already come off the engine split into 2 so I could see someone running duals for that. Duals on a 5.9L Cummins is just a matter of wasting time and money on something that doesn't help.

I guess i'm not seeing your logic. Are you saying then that a cummins wouldn't have the same output from the exhaust that a duramax or powerstroke does?

Today's V8 diesels only have one exhaust; the turbo. Though they have two banks, each having their own exhaust, both sides are routed to a single turbo in the Duramax or a dual turbo (in series) for the Ford. Hence, one exhaust pipe.

Now, if you're talking the old semis with engines like Detroit 8V71s, then they would have two banks with dual exhaust.

ok ok, edit this a little.

You weigh in right off the top like you know what you were talking about. implying I'm wrong about something I've done. I've been trying to understand WTF you were talking about....and It turns out you don't even konw what you're talking about.

Alright I says to myself.....Self, time to let it go.



I threw the bearing box in because I think its funny and appropriate. don't get your panties in a knot.

my post was something to this effect.. but i decided to stay out of it and not get involved.. your truck looks good dont worry about these negative nancys

wanna have a cutting party sometime? you seem extremely emo:rolleyes:



cda how do you figure hes emo? are you using the same logic as your diesel argument?
 
So what does everyone think of a zero rate only on one side?
 
I guess i'm not seeing your logic. Are you saying then that a cummins wouldn't have the same output from the exhaust that a duramax or powerstroke does?

No, I'm just saying that it makes no sense to me to have duals on a 5.9L Cummins from a design standpoint (or really any common truck diesel for that matter).

Yeah, you're absolutely right. Guess I was thinking along the lines of gasoline engines. So then it makes no sense to have dual exhaust on a diesel unless it's a naturally aspirated "V" configuration, one turbo per bank "V" configuration, or a supercharged "V" configuration like the 2-stroke V71 Detroits.

But then again, this is a moot point and if you like the duals then by all means put them on. I'm not one to harp on someone for what they've done to their truck, I'm just stating my opinion.

i like the stack i think it looks good
i have always liked them but i dont think i would do one on my truck :D
just personal preference which everyone is entitled to
